Hawkpass

In spite of the fact that random password generators can provide you with extremely secure passkeys that are hard to guess for both users and computers, the problem is that these passcodes are almost impossible to remember.

Hawkpass is an application developed to help you come up with strong, unique passwords for your accounts, but with the main difference that they are easy to remember as they use the words from the Diceware list.

The program comes with a stylish and modern UI that is quite intuitive and easy to navigate. In the upper section you can preview the password and, in case you do not feel it is secure enough, then you can include more numbers, words, symbols, spaces and Diceware by accessing the corresponding buttons.

In the lower section of the main window, you can preview a summary that presents you with some details about the time it would take a person to guess the password. More accurately, the app provides you with a case scenario indicating the seconds, minutes, hours, days and years it would take an entity capable of guessing at a rate of a trillion keys per second.

The trump card of the application stems from the fact that not only is it capable of generating passwords that are nearly impossible to guess, but they are also easy to remember. More precisely, before the app provides you with a password, you are requested to move the mouse so it can calculate the entropy.

Since the program relies on the Diceware Word List, a further advantage is that the passkeys generated are easy to remember. In case you are unfamiliar with the concept, Diceware includes a list of almost 8,000 short words, abbreviations and character strings that are easy to remember.

If you are looking for a solution that enables you to create unique passcodes that you can memorize and hence, avoid using a password generator, then perhaps Hawkpass might come in handy.
